complibs/libelf: use host compiler

It appears, that the configure scripts of libelf versions 0.8.13 and
0.8.12 do not honour the --host option. The compiler must be given as an
environment variable or the process will use the command "gcc" as the
compiler.

It seems that this is already done in the function do_libelf_target in
scripts/build/companion_libs/libelf.sh, but not in function do_libelf.

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
    12       (executables and libraries).
    13       
    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
    16       Supports big-endian systems.
    17       
    18       NOTE! Please read.
    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
